Junkyard Dog Posted August 9, 2016 Report Share Posted August 9, 2016 You cant get the bullseye shellac in ilquid form ver here, you will need to buy shellac flakes (fleabay) and mix your own, be sure to degrease the dent well before you start. That will take some filling with shellac, I have done loads, if you want some help 9advice) give me a pm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TDS Posted August 10, 2016 Report Share Posted August 10, 2016 Try the tip of a hot clothes iron over a damp cloth and the wood fibres should rise as the dent is compressed wood Should minimise the amount of filling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
